About Spring Bulbs
Long before the last frost has fully lifted, something stirs beneath the surface. Spring bulbs have spent the whole winter quietly waiting, storing energy, reading the cold, and when the soil temperature creeps just a few degrees warmer, they send up their first pale shoots. A drift of snowdrops, a row of yellow daffodils, a clump of deep-purple crocus: these are the garden's promise that color is coming back.
